RE: Studying Jupiter's Atmosphere from Earth
Thank you for your great work @terrylovejoy and for the effort you put into this!
There is a somewhat cumbersome naming convention that goes along with this, for instance, there is a South Temperate Belt (STB), a South South Temperate Belt (SSTB) and finally a South South South Temperate Belt (SSSTB)! Because of this, only the more significant features are shown here to avoid confusion.
STB, SSTB and SSSTB sounds too funny! I mean it's practical, but I had to say this! :P
I was impressed by your calculation of windspeed based on those two observations of yours and kept wondering to which extent the planet's rotation around its axis would affect your calculations. I guess it would still make no big difference in your estimations.
Thank you so much for the shout out! I'm honored.
Have a great day!
Thinking about the windspeed calculation it is technically misleading, because it relative to system II so you may not experience anything like this directly as the point of reference is several thousand km away. If you were floating along in the jet stream you might not notice much at all. I'll have to think of a better term for this.
Anyway, thanks for stopping by!
Again, thank you so much for including my work! I'm humbled!
Keep up the awesome work!
